Private Royal National Park Aboriginal Walking Tour
Australia's First Park,
On Dharawal Country
Ancient rock art, midden sites, and living Aboriginal culture in the world's second-oldest national park. Tailored entirely to your group.
Royal National Park carries two extraordinary distinctions. It is the world's second-oldest national park. And it sits on Dharawal Country, home to one of the longest continuous cultural traditions on earth. This private cultural experience brings both together in a 3-hour tour built entirely around your group.
Led by Eric Brown, Traditional Custodian and licensed interpreter of sacred Aboriginal rock engravings, this fully customisable experience takes your group to rock art sites, midden areas, and the Mianbar engravings through landscapes that have sustained Dharawal people for over 60,000 years. The approach and focus are shaped in a pre-event consultation with Eric before the day begins.
Available any day. Built around your group.
